Chapter 334 Frustration

Wu Yuan has always been very strong around Yang Yun, and he is really Yang Yun’s eldest disciple.

With her here, Yang Yun didn't need to say anything. He was just an extremely powerful butler, who could help with anything.

Under Wu Yuan's intimidation, the old woman hurried to arrange for an empty room.

After the old woman left, Yang Yun smiled and said, "Why be angry with the woman in charge? I came here not to establish my authority on them."

Wu Yuan said seriously: "Even if the master does not intend to accept the yard, it is actually the master's property, and the master is the master... How can the slaves fight against the master?"

This serious attitude made Yang Yun unable to refute it.

Yang Yun gave Wu Yuan a thumbs up, as if saying, "You are right, I will listen to you in everything."

...

...

The singer and dancer living in the yard was not there, and the old woman made a temporary arrangement to move out the things from a relatively remote room and vacated the room as Yang Yun's alchemy room.

"There were two ladies living in this room, but now they can only squeeze with others." The old woman saluted and said.

Yang Yun didn't say anything, and Wu Yuan took the initiative to say to him: "Very good, you don't need to be here. If you have any needs, I will call you over."

The old woman didn't understand why the master's apprentice was so strong, so she bowed and stepped down.

Yang Yun walked around the room and shook his head in disappointment.

I have no feeling of Taishang Laojun's alchemy room in my memory.

As Princess Xianyi said, when Tianshi refines elixirs, no matter what the appearance and efficacy of the elixir medicines are, at least they must support the pattern, otherwise why should others think your elixir is useful?

"First find someone to come back and set it up. If you can't set the pattern you want, just change another place and guard a group of women to refine alchemy."

Yang Yun thought secretly that alchemy is about chemical research, and it will definitely involve chemical reactions. At that time, waste gas will be discharged and there will be a lot of waste... Maybe it is good to ask the Mi family to prepare an alchemy room by the Luo River. It can not only refine alchemy, but also serve as a chemical laboratory, which is mainly conducive to chemical emissions.

When he came to the Tang Dynasty, Yang Yun had ambitions at the beginning, but as his status rose rapidly, he became a little scared in scientific research. He felt that he had been enjoying a luxurious life, at most it was to do business and make money. He completely forgot the most important mission of traveling through the crowd, that is, to change the times.

"If you go back, arrange someone to come." Wu Yuan accepted the order.

There are many people in the Yang Mansion at present, so I can arrange a few people to come and clean up, and there is no need to invite outsiders.

Yang Yun looked around the yard again, and then took Wu Yuan away, as if he had forgotten the main purpose of coming here.

...

...

The alchemy room is being laid out slowly. Anyway, Li Longji has gone into seclusion, and no one has asked him for elixirs for the time being.

Gao Lishi took the opportunity to send someone to talk to Yang Yun, meaning that there is something that needs to be mentioned directly. What Yang Yun lacks the most now is the alchemy furnace. He wants a decent one, which looks a bit of fairy spirit at first glance, but he cannot ask Gao Lishi for such an important thing directly.

How can a master not prepare in advance when he refining alchemy?

If you want everything from outsiders, it will seem extremely unprofessional.

On that day, Yang Yun was thinking about the arrangement of the alchemy room, and suddenly someone came to report that Zhang Jiuling asked him to go to the mansion. This was the first time after the marriage between Zhang and Yang families was settled, Zhang Jiuling took the initiative to invite him to go to the mansion.

Yang Yun did not take his disciples or followers and took a bus to the Zhang family.

When he arrived at the Zhang Mansion, Zhike took him directly into the front yard of the Zhang family, and his future father-in-law Zhang Zheng came out to greet him in person.

"Master Yang, it's been a long time since I saw you."

Zhang Zheng was very polite to Yang Yun. No matter what the Zhang family's attitude towards Yang Yun, Yang Yun was his son-in-law, and his eyes looked at Yang Yun were quite kind.

When Yang Yun faced his father-in-law, he didn't know what to call him. After thinking about it, he saluted with a serious look on his face: "I've seen Mount Tai."

The name of Old Taishan began in the Song Dynasty. Zhang Zheng suddenly heard this title and found it very novel and interesting. He smiled and said, "It will be a family soon. You can come to the mansion often in the future. If you encounter any problems at home, you can also help you with a consultant."

In Zhang Zheng's intention, Yang Yun was already a member of the Zhang family, but the problem was that Yang Yun did not marry into a family, and he also needed to avoid it in the future. This was not the Zhang family's home, but it could only be regarded as a temporary residence, so Zhang Zheng did not regard this place as a family.

Under the leadership of Zhang Zheng, the two entered Zhang Jiuling's study, but did not see the main person coming out, nor did they see Zhang Guoqi and Zhang Yu and other juniors. At present, only Zhang Zheng was the only one who received him.

"When will Lao Linggong come back?" Yang Yun asked.

"It's almost done, let's sit down and wait slowly. My father had sent a message to his family earlier, saying that he had some military affairs to talk to you, and he also talked about your marriage with his daughter."

Zhang Zheng did not show off his elders at all, and his words were very easy-going.

Yang Yun felt very strange. When will it be the turn of military affairs in the North Korean and Central Government to discuss with me?

What does Zhang Jiuling mean?

After waiting for a long time, footsteps came from outside. Zhang Jiuling came back with his tired body. Looking at his expression, he knew that something unpleasant happened in the court.

"Father, Mr. Yang is here."

Zhang Zheng changed his name to Yang Yun in front of Zhang Jiuling.

Yang Yun came forward to greet him.

After all, I had met once when I entered the palace to thank me for my gratitude. The marriage was agreed by Zhang Jiuling. If Zhang Jiuling proposed to repent, it would be too rude and not what the prime minister should do.

"Sit down."

After Zhang Jiuling came in, he knelt down on the floor behind the desk, and then raised his hand and said to Yang Yun and Zhang Zheng.

Zhang Zheng knelt down. When Yang Yun saw that he was not standing properly, he sat down on the floor next to him.

Zhang Jiuling said: "Your uncle has been here before. I have some understanding of your situation. You are now fifteen years old and are a little younger than Yuer. If it weren't for His Majesty's marriage and were eager to complete the wedding, you could have made a marriage contract first. It wouldn't be too late to get married after two years."

Yang Yun was thinking again, what does this mean?

Will marriage be postponed?

Zhang Zheng said: "Father, you also said that Yuer is not young. In two years, Young Master Yang will get older, but Yuer will be a little older."

In this era, men usually get married at 16 or 17, of course, there are also early ones. Girls usually get married before and after the 12 or 30. Due to the poor medical conditions, people are generally not old. Girls will feel a sense of crisis when they grow up a little, hoping to give birth to offspring as soon as possible. It is completely different from the buds that are still in the greenhouse that are not weathered and frost-free when they are in the greenhouse.

"Um."

Zhang Jiuling's tone was calm, "The wedding date is now set, and you and I are a family. In the future, I will talk to you more in the court. If you have any questions, you can discuss them privately."

Yang Yun stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Zhang Linggong for the cultivation."

After all, Zhang Jiuling was also a great scholar of his generation and the prime minister of the current dynasty. He was open and honest and said that he would promote him, but Yang Yun could not be too indifferent.

Zhang Zheng smiled and said, "Didn't my father say anything about military affairs before? But has the northern border affairs progressed?"

Zhang Zheng's words were relaxed, but Yang Yun saw that Zhang Jiuling seemed to be facing some difficult choice.

As expected, Zhang Jiuling looked cold and said, "Two days ago, Zhang Shougui led his army to the expedition. He was ambushed by the Turks as soon as he left Yanshan, and many soldiers were damaged."

Hearing this, Zhang Zheng couldn't laugh.

Yang Yun even felt that the problem was very big.

The Tang Dynasty actually suffered a defeat on the northern border, and when the Turks were too busy to take care of themselves, it was hard to imagine that the Tang Dynasty could still return in disgrace.

But if you think about it carefully, this is in line with Zhang Jiuling's previous proposal to respond cautiously to northern military affairs. In fact, Zhang Jiuling should have noticed the problems of lax preparations in the border army and serious underestimation of the enemy. Therefore, he prevented Zhang Shougui's radical advance strategy.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "That means, Gao Lishi and Li Linfu are responsible?"

Zhang Zheng asked in confusion: "Father, Zhang Shuai has always been mature and steadfast, how could there be a big deviation?"

"It's just that he blamed him for using the wrong person. His front army was filled with some unhelpful Hu people. He led his troops against the Hu people. As a result, he underestimated the enemy and was defeated. He heard that the Hu general who was commanding the front army was a Hu general named An..."

Zhang Jiuling's words are unintentional, but Yang Yun, the listener, feels that the problem is serious.

Could the Hu general surnamed An be An Lushan?

From the timeline, it should be roughly the same.

Last year, An Lushan was caught for stealing sheep and would have been beaten to death by sticks, but he said wildly to survive, "Does the doctor want to destroy the two foreign countries? Why kill Lushan?" Zhang Shougui saw his fat whiteness and explained his words and was incorporated into his army. Unexpectedly, he had already led the front army in less than a year, and the speed of promotion can be seen.

Zhang Jiuling did not know the mystery and continued: "The border army temporarily gave up its plan to continue its march and stationed troops in the area south of Yanshan... The Youzhou Jiedu was preparing to send the soldiers who had suffered defeat in this battle to Dongdu for trial. With the intention of the Ministry of War, Zhang Shuai did not immediately treat the military law and sent the head of the Hu general in charge, but took the people to Tokyo for trial, which clearly meant to favor."

Yang Yun is familiar with history.

In history, An Lushan did not die, mainly because Zhang Shougui was partial. Zhang Jiuling actually advocated killing An Lushan to calm the anger of the people.

Perhaps Li Longji considered that An Lushan was Zhang Shougui's confidant and was concerned about the emotions of the soldiers on the frontier and did not kill anyone, which was considered a kindness to An Lushan.

It was this kindness that made Li Longji think that An Lushan would be grateful. Later, he cultivated and promoted An Lushan many times and valued it. In addition, An Lushan was indeed very good at operating relationships. Later, the Jiedu towns held troops and launched an anti-Tang war... It was all caused by Li Longji's timely kindness of women.

"Yang Yun, what do you think about this?"

Zhang Jiuling suddenly turned his gaze on Yang Yun.

Others thought that Zhang Jiuling's inquiry was a kind of courtesy, but Yang Yun felt that the other party's purpose was extraordinary.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "In the past, people in the court defined me as the Wu Huifei faction. Zhang Jiuling also thought so before. Later, some people thought that I was close to Li Linfu. Now there was a problem in the northern battlefield. Zhang Jiuling first asked me if it was a test of me and see where my heart belongs to?"

"This is not a good thing for Zhang Jiuling to do whatever he wants to do, but he will look at his faction first and then his abilities."

"In the eyes of my younger generation, the deviation in the war in the north is inseparable from the pro-war sects of the court's pro-war sects to advance lightly. If the north is defeated, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, the perpetrators should be dealt with by military law so that the power of our Tang army can be demonstrated."

Yang Yun said casually, it was all happened in history anyway.

What do you Zhang Jiuling like to hear? I will tell you what you want?

In the end, if An Lushan dies, or if the emperor pursues the responsibility of the war pro-war faction, it has nothing to do with me. Anyway, you are here to test my political tendencies.

Since I became your grandson-in-law, I will be like to agree with you this time. Anyway, you won’t listen to what I said!
